We think about them every day - calories!

But have you ever stopped to think what a calorie is as a unit of measure?

Well, lets find out once and for all.

Firstly, it's important to remember a calorie isn't a tangible thing you'd find in food

or drink - like protein or carbs for example.

It's a metric unit we often use for measuring the energy value of food and drink, or the

energy expenditure of a human body through exercise or involuntary activity.

As a unit of measure, 1 small calorie is the amount of energy required to heat 1 millilitre

of water by 1 degree centigrade.

Whereas 1 large calorie is the amount of energy required to heat 1 litre of water (which is

1,000 millilitres) by 1 degree centigrade.

Food packing uses the large calorie unit of measure when stipulating it's calorie content.

So it's always best for consumers to use large calories to measure with.

So, what we're saying is, if you filled the kettle with 1 litre of water (which is 1,000

millilitres) to make a round of teas, it would require 100 calories to bring that water up

to boiling point, which is 100 degrees centigrade.

That's your temperature change (0-100 degrees), time the volume of water (1,000 millilitres)

which equals 100,000 small calories.

Then divide that by 1,000 to convert it to large calories, and that equals 100 large

calories to heat 1 litre of water to 100 degrees centigrade.

So, lets put that into perspective.

The amount of energy required to heat our water up to boiling point requires the same

amount of energy you'd fine in half a Mars bar, just under a full can of cola, 2 apples

or 50 stalks of celery.

Makes you realise doesn't it, how dense in energy some of these food and drinks can actually

be.

Now, on the flip side, to burn 100 calories worth of energy, that's equal to 10 minutes

worth of light cycling or 10 minutes worth of running.

For those still using the imperial system, or even worse, the imperial and the metric

system, a large calorie is the amount of energy required to heat 33.814 fluid ounces of water

by 33.8 degrees fahrenheit.

And it's also worth remember this is based on the temperature change happening in a controlled

environment and doesn't take into account factors such as energy waste, for example,

heat escaping from our kettle through the spout or sides during the heating process.

So it would likely require slightly more calories to heat water in a domestic environment.

However, the takeaway message is, by the most common standard, 1 calories is the amount

of energy required to heat 1 litre of water by 1 degree centigrade.

OK guys, thanks for watching.

THIS IS A CROSS MOTORBIKE!! ???? - KIT3 Test @ Branduzzo [English Subtitles] - Duration: 8:59.

Did you notice it was a motard?

Hi everyone! as you can hear from the sound

coming by single-cylinders

I'm not in a circuit, I'm at the "motodromo di castelletto di branduzzo "

because today

I will try a special bike, which I never tried before

the Kit 3

today is not gonna be just a simple practice

with reviews etc but it's gonna be something more

in fact with these bikes next year Tenica Moto

my team, will organize an amateur championship

low cost, where anyone who wants to approach

the racing world without starting out with

official races, licences, championships etc

will find a valid alternative to make the first steps

now I'll wear the suit, I'll try it and then we'll see

in detail how's this bike

first session is over

it's so weird

very different from the R3

I didn't think it'd be so different

it vibrates a lot since it's single-cylinder

the riding position is totally different

now I'll metabolize, I'll go back in then I'll tell you all about it

second turn is over too, I'm finally starting to get it

so now things were better, I have a desperate need

for ear plugs, because these bikes make a huge racket

of course

because they are motards

Did you notice it was a motard?

these are real motards. Now Andrea Zappa

will explain to us what these bikes are

Let's say that the base

is a motard's

it derives from a cross, the cross makes the motard

and the motard makes our kit3

this bike is called kit3, you got the base of a cross motard

you adapted to the track. Exactly, they get

the back footboards

there's a hull coming from 250 grand prix

of the '90 / 95. Then we put tires

120

70 17 in front. The tire of a 1000. Yes

exactly. So you can have

a good entrance in the curve,

a great braking and a good distance

while for the rear, from this year, we put the 160/60

ok Dunlop sport smart TT. Yes

they do very interesting times

on tracks not so fast

because these are not bikes for the Mugello

But like in Varano, the pole in my 1000 category,

was a high 1.10, with these you got to 13

Yes, exactly. You can do very interesting times

and compared to a 300, they go faster?

there's some HP extra, here we have

52-53 HP,

with 103 kg. So they weight less. Yes, almost 40 kg less

that's a lot! Yeah

what are your plans for next year? We want to organize

a championship for amateurs

we make them race in tracks like this one

with out bikes which make a available

with a draw

so all at the same level

you race with transponder,

and then we can

do a score-settling, for fun

I'd like this class to be

preparatory, to teach how to stay on a bike

understand the setting, the adjustments

understand what to do on a bike

so someone who wants to approach the races

but doesn't want to start from a whole championship

'cause you need licence, huge budget,

he comes here, you provide everything, turnkey

and with a low cost budget - they have to

basically just give gas and have fun

if you want more info on this championship

which will start next year, subscribe to the youtube channel

'cause as soon as we'll know dates, costs, and everything I'll make a video about it

Ok so from what you understood, Tenica Moto is organizing

a sort of small championship with these bikes

this morning I tried this one

which is the version used to race during the motoestate

mini-open last year, the driving sensations

at the first session have been very strange

because even if it's a small low performance bike

it's different from the R3

it has a longer pace, with a bigger front tire

so you have to get used to

the idea of really giving gas and entering fast into the curve

it pushes so much, in fact

they are very light, easy to manage,

and compared to the R3 you can feel it has more push

and for the expert ones, you can notice how this

bike comes from the cross because look at how long

the mono is compared to the track bikes

and moreover you can notice the wheel with spokes

the one I used has a Yamaha frame,

while this afternoon I'll try this which is Suzuki

this is the version we'll use

next year in this small championship and in the rear it will have the

160 instead of the 150, so the tire

is the dunlop sport smart tt

ok the session on the suzuki is over

there was a bit of traffic, of course when this championship will take place

the sessions will be reserved to the kit3

I was only able to do

like 6 curves alone without traffic during the whole session,

but I didn't feel much difference with the others

except for the rear, having a 160

it has much more grip, so it's much more attached to the ground

it gives more confidence, more trust,

and it's very balanced. Plus, the sport smart TT

on here, which are the same I use on the R3

I can confirm that on track are perfect

and now let's enjoy an onboard lap

subscribe!

Santander is so precious! | Vlog in Spain 🇪🇸 - Duration: 2:37.

This city is so precious...

just like the rest of Spain.

Santander is a city located in northern Spain and it's the capital of the

autonomous community of Cantabria.

Santander is known for housing the headquarters of the

Santander Bank.

But it's also a beach town

where many Spaniards spend their summers.

If you come to Santander, you can pick between staying on the beach, close

to the beach, which is a little far from downtown, or staying downtown, which is beautiful, its

architecture is very well preserved, there are many bars and restaurants over there...

so you have these two options.

Well guys, I hope you have enjoyed the tour around Santander, here

in Spain. I'll be visiting other Spanish

cities and I'll try to make videos there as well,

so stay tuned to this channel for more travel videos in Spain.

xoxo! :)
